The Pelicans' situation has been unstable ever since the franchise relocated from Charlotte in 2002, and especially since Katrina. This excruciating state of limbo unfortunately defines the Pelicans. It's difficult to say where they belong.

You get the sense Ralph Sampson, if he had been designed by NASA engineers rather than a cruel god, still would have ended up as one of the great Yeah, But guys of his generation: an immensely gifted, lightly snakebitten antecedent to Vince Carter and Chris Webber.

.5 game behind the second wild card, or as my Mets friends have been telling me "Right there!" You guys might say you're beating on the worst of the worst, but maybe you can ride that momentum against the better teams. All it took to win was for Van Wagenen to admit defeat.

Right. We have to do it against the Nats and then the Braves. I'd love 4-2.

it's a solid signing, he comes in with a +2.1 uzr rating at 2b which makes him the best on the mets(hech leads the mets with +1.1) so today the mets defense got better now that they have stroman and syndergaard, 2 guys that rely on good infield defense, it's a good move.
